When City Ville 2 was launched, I tried that right away, &quot;super&quot; on graphics but too many bugs that have to be fixed. <br /><br />Stella Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08820924438390138674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584578.post-37898433855286171402013-01-12T17:51:30.225+01:002013-01-12T17:51:30.225+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stella Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08820924438390138674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584578.post-81613358859256764632013-01-09T14:00:11.387+01:002013-01-09T14:00:11.387+01:00Well for city building...

If anything, it&#39;s better now. <br /><br />Oh and yes, another thing Sim City 5 and mods looks like a dire combination too... <br /><br />I actually reinstalled Sim City 4 in anticipation of 5 and I found I like 4 so much, and dislike some stuff about 5 so much (like the always online DRM crap) that it looks like I&#39;ll skip 5 and keep playing 4...Baktruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16374352005154219569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584578.post-86237654903180853942013-01-09T13:36:16.553+01:002013-01-09T13:36:16.553+01:00I&#39;ll be the first one to say it: Zynga&#39;s ...I&#39;ll be the first one to say it: Zynga&#39;s layoffs most likely included the best of their QA staff.
